Circuit #2 Chest, Back, Hamstrings

by inspiredrd on October 1, 2010

This 20-minute circuit is just like circuit #1 but works on different muscles. This circuit can be done with a resistance band (can be found at Target or any sporting goods store) or with a pair of 8-12 lb. dumbbells. When buying a resistance band, make sure to get one with enough resistance (around 10 lbs.) You will also want a yoga mat or towel for the abdominal exercises. Remember, do all of these exercises back-to-back with no rest in between. What makes a 20-minute circuit effective is that you are getting your cardio and strength in at the same time. If you don’t have a set of stairs available, jog in place or do step-ups on a curb or stable bench during the 2 minute cardio sets.

I have been getting some very positive feedback from Circuit #1. Please let me know what you think about Circuit #2!
